Creating the Ultimate Zen Bedroom with Nourison Rugs

Why Decluttering My Life Was a Priority

As the only woman in my household, I feel like I’m the only person who really cares about anything with home décor. I live with a boyfriend and two puppies, but none of those three really give a darn thing about how the apartment looks or feels. Jay is just a simple guy: happy with a roof over his head, a working refrigerator, toilet, bed, and shower. My dogs…pretty much the same. However, I’m here as this lifestyle/fashion/beauty blogger who believes in a “happy home is a happy life”. Therefore, I recently have made strides in making my life at home as zen as possible.

Now, don’t get me wrong – my apartment has its clutter moments. On average, I get about 8-15 packages sent weekly by PR agencies and brands who want me to try their latest products from beauty to clothing to food. With only a one-bedroom apartment, there is no way that my main living area would ever be clean given the amount of products I get gifted weekly.

HOWEVER, as a person who suffers greatly from severe anxiety, this clutter became a huge problem. Over the years, I have learned that I at LEAST need to make SOME of my place organized, otherwise I’d lose my head. I work from home a lot, so I noticed that having a messy place in view made me feel extremely uneasy and unproductive.

Decorating My Bedroom Into a Zen Area

So, that’s when I started with cleaning the bedroom. I wanted to make the area I slept in as zen as possible so I could get a better night’s rest. On top of getting a low-profile bed and furniture for a minimalistic look, I saw that something was missing.

Was it décor? The paint color? The curtains? I looked around the room and wondered what would make the space look more homey. And that’s when it hit me: I had to get a rug!

The Best Rug Investment with Nourison

Luckily, I stumbled upon this great rug company, Nourison. I was invited into the Showroom in New Jersey, and when I browsed through the collections, I saw that the rugs were made of such luxurious high quality. With every single rug I felt, I was gasping in amazement and wonder with the touch and feel of the materials in addition to their exquisite designs.

Since I had worked so hard to make my room immersed with calming colors such as white, light pink, and Birchwood, I decided to go with a white and grey rug. Since the hardware on my furniture sets were brushed silver, I thought it was perfect for my room. With that in mind, I decided to go with this Twilight Rug in Ivory/Gray, which I found available on Houzz right HERE. (For a Queen size bed, I recommend getting the 7’9″ x 9’9″ as pictured above).

Made out of 40% Wool and 60% Viscose, it is one of the most soothing rugs to step on when you put your feet over it! When I get out of bed in the morning, it’s like I step on a soft and furry cloud and I’m ready to start my day. It’s as if my toes get a hug every morning as a reward when I wake up :-). I highly recommend this rug or any other rugs from Nourison as you will NOT be disappointed. I will definitely be getting my living room rug from them as well. Also, don’t forget to buy the firm grip rug pad to prevent the rug from moving!

With that said, I hope you consider Nourison when shopping for your next high-quality rug!

That’s a nice rug! And I agree with you about having a happy home is having a happy life. I am like you, too much clutter gives me anxiety but having two kids and two cats, plus my organization skills are very low, keeping it clutter free is a big challenge for me. Yet it is super important to have a nice zen space to sleep better and to be more productive. I love the rug. You’ve inspired me to get my butt in gear and get organized!

Girl! Decluttering your spaces is the best! I did this awhile back because we downsized to live on a lake. I literally felt physically lighter after parting with truck-fulls of items for donation. Love the post! Thank you for sharing!
